Vesting Tentative Map for Concar Passage Mixed Use Development (PA-2025-064 678 CONCAR DR., VTM)

The contract pertains to the vesting tentative map for the Concar Passage Mixed Use Development located at 678 Concar Drive in San Mateo, California, aiming to subdivide the property into 26 lots as part of a larger residential and commercial initiative. This phase legally secures the entitlement framework for the proposed development, ensuring compliance with municipal regulations and enabling progress toward construction. The project will involve the demolition of all existing structures on the site except for the existing 11,400 square foot Trader Joe’s building, which will remain in place. The development will include the construction of three apartment buildings containing 708 residential units and 21 townhouse buildings with 139 units, totaling 847 residential dwelling units. A separate 3,100 square foot retail building is also planned to serve the community. Associated site improvements will encompass public frontage enhancements, dedicated parking areas, common open spaces, and comprehensive landscaping to support livability and aesthetic value. The development is governed by the City of San Mateo, with Steve Golden, Principal Planner, listed as the primary point of contact and Lisa Borba, Senior Project Manager, serving as a key liaison. The project was posted on June 29, 2026, under the identification PA-2025-064, and is formally recorded in the California Environmental Quality Act system. The vesting tentative map is a critical step in securing long-term development rights and initiating the next phases of design, financing, and construction for this mixed-use community.
